SPILL PROTECTION
Introducing a large range of spill control products that e cientlymanage any industrial liquid hazard. These products are now needed to comply with health and safety regulations and are your rst line of defence against a variety of spills.
Oil-Only Spill Range
Maintenance Spill Range Maintenance absorbents are grey and are used with most liquids that do not degrade the absorbent.
Chemical Spill Range
Oil only absorbents are white or blue and are used with oils, hydrocarbons, and liquids which do not mix with or absorb water.
Chemical absorbents are yellow and are used with most aggressive chemical liquids.

• BS7959-BSStandards-Materialusedforthecontrolofliquidspillages BS 7959 is the British Standard, which contains 3 parts for spill control products: Absorbency, Oil Only Sorbents and Colour Coding for spill. • BS 7959-1:2004 - Determination Of Sorbency This tests the absorbency rate for a variety of di erent sorbents that is: pads, socks, pillows etc using diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, motor oil, xylene, deionized water. The absorbency is measured in litres of liquid absorbed per Kg. After 30 seconds if the sorbent has retained the liquid it passes the standard.
• BS 7959-2:2002 - Determination Of Water Repellency Or Buoyancy For Hydrophobic (Oil Sorbent) Materials This test is performed in the same manner as part 1, however it is only measured the absorbency for oil only sorbents. • BS 7959-3:2007 - Colour Coding Sorbent Materials This part of the standard speci es a system of colour coding for sorbent materials and their packaging.
